at the end of our mission trip we spent a night in progreso, a city on the beach. our missions pastor (andres yi) told me that i must eat at el toro in progreso. he said that the fish there was the best meal of his life. all the touristy restaurants were on the beach & were very clean & "touristy". but el toro was in a back-alley road and had that "local vibe". no english menus & no english-speaking waiters. their specialty was fresh grouper ($10 per kilogram). you get to pick your fish out of a bucket & they fry it up for you. they converted some old steel garbage cans to be their makeshift frying machines. i did wonder how often they changed the frying-oil, but i tried not to think about it. the fish was so tasty & so good.
